Ingredients

Units Scale

Baked Oats

  • 2 mashed medium-ripe bananas (Approx. 200g)
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk (Approx. 600ml)
  • 6 oz espresso (Or 2 tbsp instant coffee mixed with 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp hot water)
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup (Approx. 84g)
  • 3 tbsp cashew butter (Or almond butter. Approx. 50g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (Or lemon juice; approx. 15ml)
  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats (Approx. 220g)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (Optional; about 25-30g. Or sub for extra rolled oats)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder (Approx. 6g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (Approx. 3g)
  • 1/8 tsp salt (Approx. 0.5g)

Yogurt Layer

  • 3 cups thick plain yogurt (Approx. 680g. I use soy)
  • 2 tbsp cashew butter (Or almond butter; approx. 30g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (Optional but recommended for ‘mousse’ consistency. Approx. 25-30g)
  • Maple syrup to taste (Optional)
  • Tiny pinch of salt
  • Cocoa (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Baked Oats: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 8 × 8 in or 9 × 9 in square baking dish (approx. 20 × 20 cm or 23 × 23 cm) with medium-high sides.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Add the soy milk, espresso (or strong coffee), maple syrup, cashew/almond butter, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until combined.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, stir together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, protein powder (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Step 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well until combined.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Step 8: Leave the oats in the dish to cool completely.
  9. Yogurt Layer: In a medium bowl, add the cashew or almond butter – warm in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften, then mix in vanilla to loosen the nut butter.
  10. Step 10: Add 1–2 tablespoons of the yogurt and stir until smooth.
  11. Step 11: Add the remaining yogurt, salt and optional protein powder. Mix until fully combined. Note – the protein powder is what gives the yogurt a ‘mousse’ consistency – see notes.
  12. Step 12: Taste test – add a dash of maple syrup if you want extra sweetness.
  13. To Finish: Once the baked oats are completely cool, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the top.
  14. Step 14: Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

  • The protein powder is what gives the yogurt a ‘mousse’ consistency.
